I know this is off point (because you are not the original poster, who, iirc, 
is blind or partially blind), but, if the only reason to reconfigure the BIOS 
is to set the correct date and time, an alternate would be to boot with the 
wrong time, then use, set the (software) clock to the correct time (possibly 
using the utility that syncs to the atomic clocks in Colorado or wherever, and 
then using  that other utility that lets you set the hardware clock from the 
software clock.

I forget the names of those various utilities ;-)
